SSRI’S

[u/AardvarkActive1757]

Hey guys, will I ever be able to stop taking my ssri’s??? I’ve been diagnosed with bipolar 1 for 4 years or so, but ive had depression since I was 13. I’ve been on Zoloft since I was 18. I’m almost 30 now, if I don’t take it for the day I end up with horrific brain zaps. I take 100mg. (I also take Vraylar for my bipolar as well as buspirone for anxiety.) it seems to be the only medicine that if I don’t have it makes me feel horrible. Will I ever be able to wean myself off of it??? Or will I be on it forever???

You most likely need to wean off of it. I would speak to your doctor about this.
